FootFitter Premium Professional Boot Vamp and Instep Stretcher, Stretch Tight Arches on Boots!

[@jmfa57]

Last week I bought a less expensive version of this type of vamp/instep boot stretcher for some cowboy boots I bought off eBay. I highly recommend that you use a stretching liquid spray, or water, to wet the leather before cranking the stretcher tight. This helps the leather stretch with less strain and risk of cracking or tearing the leather. You can pay ten bucks for a 4 oz spray bottle of this, or mix 3 to 1 water and rubbing alcohol and save money. The alcohol dries out the leather even more than plain water does, so you'll want to use leather conditioner right afterward to restore some of the oils to your boots, but heck yeah, these things work GREAT. Thanks for sharing!

Would you put the mixture inside of the shoe or outside?

Thank you! Finally found a video that doesn’t try to sell me additional products lol.

Glad it was helpful!

Great video, I have some great boots that are too tight in the instep just like yours...I do think that spraying that area first or using a conditioner will help the leather give more easily before you do the stretcher....I have high insteps too, rest of the boot feels good but its a problem with boots a lot for me. Thanks for the video!!

[@JohnVHLife]

Yes! I just used it again last night on another boot! Great tool to have at home!

[@jmart21]

Ha, I've got the exact same Red backs with the exact same issue. Might have to look into that stretcher..

[@JohnVHLife]

Funny! I am wearing them right now! Only because I use this stretcher! I have had to do it a couple more times here and there, but they are good to go!

[@JoshFielder]

I was sooo excited to get my red backs and then I get them and with normal socks and soles in them they are so tight to get on and soooo unbearably tight on top of my foot I’m buying the spray to make the leather more subtle and the stretcher and see how it goes.

[@jmart21]

@@JoshFielder well I've owned mine for over a year now. Never ended up buying a stretcher. But after a few months of discomfort in the top of my foot the boots fit me just fine now. No more tightness. They'll break in eventually.

[@GigiWillBePirateKing]

I need these for mine. Same problem I have with my right foot

[@Leolioness44]

Hot water in teapot for rising steam the inside of boot 1st will help the stretching

[@thomasmcarthur9475]

Appreciate the video I’m definitely gunna pick up this boot stretcher but if I’m being honest your cat makes the video 😂😂

[@JohnVHLife]

Haha, hes a noisy boy! Thanks for the comment!

[@lanasmith7751]

Great information thanx

[@Leolioness44]

Geezer, gotta get them on 1st. The instep reinforcement stitching is Always my issue. I have a double problem with High Arch & high instep. Buying a half size larger just makes the boot too large and I'll be swimming in them

[@JoshFielder]

I hope this works I bought the same boots was so excited for some steel toe rebbacks and they’re too tight I’m exactly the same spot I am waiting for the stretcher and the spray to come and I’m hoping they work out because my work reimburses up to $200 for boots once a year so I bought them hoping they’d last but time will tell. I was so bummed out because they look great and I love the slip on factor but they’re so tough to get on and are unbearable to wear. They have the spray that’s supposed to soften the leather to help stretch it more I just hope it works out but next go round I’m getting some custom Jim greens made I suggest everyone check out Jim green they’re so nice and punch way above their weight cost wise

[@JohnVHLife]

I am currently wearing the redbacks in the video, and I still wear the cowboy boots I used them on also. Plan on trying to stretch them more than you think, because they will slowly creep back, it may take a couple tries, but it does work! Best of luck!

[@Leolioness44]

YAY

[@dmcbride63]

What kind of boots are those last pair that you wear to a work?

[@JohnVHLife]

Redbacks

[@TheWITE-FOX]

Need this.. I bought the same pair of boots and they are crushing my pinky toes… this help with heel?

[@JohnVHLife]

Not really what this one is made for. They made another one for that type of stretch. Follow the link. It’ll probably suggest the other style for you.

[@TheWITE-FOX]

@@JohnVHLife ahh yeah I see it, thank you

[@juanmunoz8715]

I'm hanging same problem

Looking at your foot I think you need a wide

[@JohnVHLife]

They may be wider, but this fixed the issue I had with the shoes and boots,
